Training

BYHON provides comprehensive functional safety and industrial cyber security training programs focused on various technical topics.
Training in functional safety and industrial cyber security is of fundamental importance for all personnel involved in one or more phases of the life cycle of a product/system, as stated in the international reference standard either IEC 61508 or IEC 62443.
Among the other standards to be learned there are: EN ISO 62061:2021, ISO 13849, IEC 61511.

Every standard presents a necessary knowledge of either functional safety or industrial cyber security as a requirement, in proportion to the level of responsibility and role, for all those who, according to the Management System, intervene in the Lifecycle of a product. For example, the engineer responsible for the Design and Development phase.
The skills acquired can be used to immediately manage these issues within one’s organization. The participation to any trainings is proved by the certificate of attendance signed by BYHON.

The aim of our courses on either functional safety or industrial cyber security is to allow the customer to be autonomous on various aspects such as:

The understanding of the technical information contained in a SIL certificate (Safety Integrity Level reached, Systematic capability, hardware safety integrity, failure rates…), so as to be able to independently and directly answer any questions an end user may have about the certificate itself;


The understanding of the technical information contained in an ISASecure® certificate for industrial cyber security, so as to be able to independently and directly answer any questions an end user may have about the certificate itself;


Provide the minimum basic knowledge to be able to independently analyze and deduce the main methods of a system or component before submitting it to a certification process.


In order to enable customers to comply with regulatory training requirements and acquire the necessary functional safety and/or industrial cyber security knowledge, BYHON organizes training activities at the manufacturer’s premises or online.

The training plan is a comprehensive program, with content and agenda suitable for the different levels of experience of the participants in the training sessions. The courses are also designed to provide participants with notions of functional safety and/or industrial cyber security generally applied to the field of work, with examples of products, systems and standards.
